That may or may not be a good thing, but if you are looking to join this airborne horde and haven't yet decided where to spend your dollars or how many of those dollars to spend, the following list may be of assistance.

At the high-end of the consumer drone market you'll find the likes of the DJI Inspire 1 Pro which, with its carbon fiber construction, can reach speeds of up to 50 mph. Oh, and it can shoot 4K video from a 360-degree camera mount. That's just awesome. But it will set you back $4,500.

A little further down the tree there are some very capable drones such as the
DJI Phantom 3 (Standard and Professional), 3DR Solo and Parrot Bepop 2, which we compared in detail last month. In this round up we're working our way down from there to bring you a selection of the most popular, well-reviewed drones for those on a budget.
